My Classmates

I have been in Jerusalem almost 3 weeks. The class I am taking ends tomorrow with our final exam on Friday. Part of what has been so much fun and meaningful has been the 42 other people in the class. The group is represented by a variety of people at various stages of life. Most of the students are here taking the class for credit, while some of us, myself included, are just auditing the class.

Here are a few of my classmates:

This is Cam and Sandra. They are from Hong Kong. They are both from an Assembly of God church. Their pastor recommended that they take this course.


This is Nick. He lives in Natomas and is a graduate of UC Davis!!! He is currently working as a civil engineer. He is taking seminary classes at Western Seminary's campus in Sacramento.


This is Keane and Milena. The are from Greshem, just outside of Portland. They have two children, ages 12 and 10. He just finished seminary.
